The latest modifications in the technology industry are showcasing to be beneficial in almost every sector. More focus is now on Artificial Intelligence (AI) reducing the gap made by our predecessors in the pre-internet era. The gap which led to the various natural disasters, pandemics, and even inequalities from economic as well as providing opportunities to each person irrespective of their gender in private and public organizations. Besides the common industries being in focus (financial services, medical and healthcare, logistics, etc), smart cities, smart homes, and transportation have started being the focal area. Interconnecting electronic devices with home appliances and driverless driving are two examples helping in increasing the curiosity across industries.
Constructing and Safeguarding Smart Cities from Natural
Disasters via AI.
In a way one could perceive implementing
artificial intelligence and sister-like technologies on public infrastructure
like public transport cards, traffic lights being connected with road sensors. The
modification around traffic light infrastructure has been implemented in
Scotland’s Glasgow city. The Las Vegas health department in coordination with
Rochester university developed an application that assisted in filtering out
restaurants that were susceptible to inspections. AI-enabled computational
tools assist in safeguarding cyber-infrastructure that’s the core framework of
smart cities. Automated driving might seem fascinated at the face value (all
credit to Elon Musk’s Tesla cars), but is facing a couple of hurdles as it’s
still in the initial phase. There are three
phases for building smarter cities. The first phase
focuses on planning. The second phase includes scrutinizing relevant articles. The
last phase or the third phase encompasses reporting and dissemination.
Employing such advanced technologies will help in saving electricity, water
wastage would be lowered, temperatures within the home would vary depending on the
outside environment. The fundamentals of constructing a home would be robust
that most natural disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, or the recent one
COVID-19 may be handled much better.
Almost all sensible, logical, and practical
technological experts agree that as artificial intelligence is in its initial
phase and there’s enormous scope for it in the future, one should take into
account a few pros and cons. It’s wise to hope for the best scenario but
simultaneously work for the worst scenario as well. The pre-requisites
for a responsible AI should include resoluteness towards:
The incentives for developers, users, investors, and individuals who do the research and development must be such that they aspire to advance swiftly and morally as well. Another factor to be considered is by applying integrative research. Just like a piece of the song sounds best when each tone is played exactly at right time similarly, the benefit of artificial intelligence would be able to reach across the world when every industry fine-tunes with each other. A few potential hurdles to be alert from include validation and verification, the complexity of some AI models, user’s privacy and legitimacy, etc. Besides the mentioned hurdles, it better to alter algorithms consciously as more biases, behaviour manipulation, and social risks are cropping up frequently. This piece of research showcases a couple of factors that indicate the advantages and few loopholes as well in the technological platform present today. The six W’s bring out the crux about the myths and reality on the ground. Another crux which indicates the factors uniting all countries are the six E’s.
With the intermixing of globalization and
localization, one could look at the whole world as a big joint family. Partnering
and cooperating have been seen in the past as well, like nations
coming together in the First and Second World War to fight against a common
enemy. Similarly, to make the planet blossom to its natural full potential,
firms and Governments of each nation need to come together and achieve this
common goal via AI. Almost every country has some unique value-add-on whether
be it in the Eastern part, or the Western part of the world. Working together
towards the same goal would surely make the future generations live a much
better life by inter-combining
the latest technological equipment’s in our daily lives
while keeping the utilization in moderation. Based on this
piece of research, poverty would be almost extinct, no individual would
have to starve due to lack of food, the overall quality of education would
increase exponentially, the average life span of a human being may increase, sustainable
and eco-friendly cities and communities would be available, etc.
Alterations
in Human Rights and Equality via AI and sister-like innovations.
There has been a lot of discussions, debates, and some controversies as well regarding the
employability and human rights as to when the technology will get deployed 100%
on the round. The United States of America and China are the major hubs for
research around this particular area at the moment. The common issues which get
cropped up often include morality and ethics perspective. People who could be
said conservative tend to look AI with some hesitation to use it daily. But
those see themselves as republicans tend to use the technology without
hesitation.
With the Coronavirus pandemic spread across the world, nation leaders are facing
equality issues daily. Treating people who are under a specific age group and
neglecting those who might be susceptible to the virus is a harsh decision to
implement.
Seeing the issue from a technical and philosophical perspective, experts are finding it hard to conclude whether AI
and related technological platforms would enhance human life or make it worse. Some
clusters from a philosophical background generally think that robots and
machines would harm human society (as shown in the movie I, Robot (2004)). But
after a couple of researches, even technological experts are started to
showcase that if the algorithm is built with appropriate context/intent, the
robot or a machine would only aid a human being. The debate of
intermixing technology with humans in some perspective might go on for a little
while. But it would be ideal if the issue is resolved as quickly as possible
for the benefit of the present population on Earth
